This paper addresses synchronizing two coupled chaotic FitzHugh–Nagumo (FHN) neurons with weakly gap junction under external electrical stimulation (EES). To transmit information among coupled neurons, by generalization of the integer-order FHN equations of the coupled system into the fractional-order in frequency domain using Crone approach, the behavior of each coupled neuron relies on its pa...

We examine a generalized FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) type model with modified excitability derived from the diffusive Morris-Lecar equations for neuronal activity. We obtain exact analytic solutions in the form of traveling waves using a piecewise linear approximation for the activator and inhibitor reaction terms. We study the existence and stability of waves and find that the inhibitor species exhi...

Effect of frequent or extended hemodialysis on cardiovascular parameters: a meta-analysis. A systematic review of the effect of nocturnal hemodialysis on blood pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy, anemia, mineral metabolism and health-related quality of life. et al. Frequent hemodialysis schedules are associated with reduced levels of dialysis-induced cardiac injury (myocar-dial stunning). D...

Absolute environmental sustainability assessments (AESAs) evaluate whether the impact of a product system is within its share safe operating space as determined by biophysical limits such planetary boundaries (PBs). The choice sharing principle has significant influence on result an AESA, and any studies call for further research how to in operational way that relates product's contribution wel...

The forward problem in magnetocardiography (MCG) is important for understanding the relationship between electric activity of heart and body surface magnetic field (BSM), providing insight into clinical application MCG. In this paper, we proposed a computational framework based on finite element method (FEM) to solve MCG problem. For subject-specific heart-torso geometry established from medica...

this paper addresses synchronizing two coupled chaotic fitzhugh–nagumo (fhn) neurons with weakly gap junction under external electrical stimulation (ees). to transmit information among coupled neurons, by generalization of the integer-order fhn equations of the coupled system into the fractional-order in frequency domain using crone approach, the behavior of each coupled neuron relies on its pa...

Introduction: New models of primary healthcare delivery recently implemented in Ontario are designed to improve after-hours accessibility. This study examined whether the six-month prevalence of emergency department and walk-in clinic use differed among patients of eight Family Health Network (FHN), 16 Family Health Group (FHG) and 12 fee-for-service (FFS) physicians in one city. Michelle Howar...

OBJECTIVE Many motivated new mothers fail to reach public health goals for breastfeeding, highlighting the need to identify risk factors. Because having a family history of alcoholism is associated with blunted prolactin responses to an alcohol challenge in nonlactating individuals, this study aimed to identify associations in family history of alcoholism, prolactin, and breastfeeding behaviors...
